# Why another tool?

Because I sometimes get [Destination Path Too Long](https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-desktop/destination-path-too-long/22ee2a6a-e277-4edc-a4b9-7874737105ef) error when try to copy files from unix disks. Actually this is Explorer's issue that can not be fixed since 2016.
